"AI" (LLM) hype is so great, people are faulting it for not solving issues they overlook. Which means the solution isn't in the data that it's trained on. Most people don't want to hire an employee that is competent. That alone is the truth. They value other non-technical factors highly, even when those factors might negatively affect performance. As I learnt from a senior developer, the best developers are the people who have horrible impostor syndrome and constantly downplay their own abilities. These guys usually turn out to be geniuses, no matter where they've been (or haven't been) employed before. Plus, when selecting for teamwork, instead of following the usual dogma, it's always better to hire someone that's been though shit rather than hiring someone who's always been cushy. People that have been through the ringer know how to cooperate well and even better, know why such a thing is necessary in the first place. The other kind of people usually are horrible backstabbers. Yes, they've had extensive corporate experience, that's usually not a good sign.
